DIN ISO 18129:2016-01

This standard provides an introduction on how to apply performance monitoring and diagnostics for machines, groups of machines, up to complete industrial installation (equipment) typically covering the whole lifetime of the machines. This standard is intended to - introduce the terminology specifically related to performance monitoring and diagnostics of machines, - describe the types of performance monitoring and diagnostics procedures and their merits, - provide guidance on installation of performance monitoring and diagnostics systems, - outline methods and requirements for carrying out performance monitoring and diagnostics of machines, and - provide information on data interpretation, and assessment criteria and reporting requirements. This standard includes testing procedures for determining the accuracy of performance monitoring and diagnostics systems and procedures (including providing inputs for benchmarking the performance of equipment). The underlying International Standard ISO 18129:2015 has been prepared under German project management by Technical Committee ISO/TC 108 "Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring", Subcommittee SC 5 "Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems", the secretariat of which is held by ANSI (USA). The German collaboration has been affected by Committee NA 001-03-06-05 UA (NALS/VDI C 6.5) "Schwingungs- und Zustandsüberwachung von Maschinen und Anlagen" ("Vibration and condition monitoring of machine systems" of the DIN/VDI Standards Committee Acoustics, Noise Control and Vibration Engineering (NALS) at DIN and VDI.
